Poe.com(by Quora) have gpt4 now, give it a shot

Thanks for the correction, as for the motive, it was my thought until I dug into his tweet, he’s aware he’s terminated by 2/26 [1] but the post yesterday was too “nice” as in he typed those not to for anyone, but for court.

Copying my post from other thread:

Feels more like to gut Musk. Dude had a firm aquired to Twitter in '21. and is one of largest tax entity in Iceland. He got Musk saying he's terminated due to disability[1].

He deliberately asked HR repeatly that his JD is correct and his manager if he’s doing the task he was assigned while he was employed[2]. No one will ever do this unless he’s preparing for lawsuits.

He’s likely to be in the period of his acquisitions and termination like this gonna be very expensive

Dude is out for blood and Musk falls for it. It's going to be a very expensive tweet for Musk.

I would say it’s just H1B, hard to jump ship when you are on such a tight window

TBH, Zuck's version didn't mention anything web3/crypto related, it's just a walled garden in Oculus VR.

Well with somewhat justified mockery for his metaverse vision. Meta's reality lab isn't doing too good. minus Quest/Quest2, the execution for XR is just really sloppy, even John Carmack can't stand the pace of Meta[1], fixes takes 6 month(!) to push through.

Even if Zuck wanted, his team doesn't seem to be able to pull that off, be that of tech limitation or just too many value-extract in the team. It doesn't seem XR is the reality. at least from forseeable futures.

A HUD with natural hand-gesture interface would be very nice and the revoluation of next level of digitilization and UI. Being able to analysis thing infront me brings so much values.

Also, replaces monitors, no more expensive setups just to get half-decent workstation.

Gosh, I sound like salesmen but I really wish this to be true.

If they don't misuse it(which they always do).

For "ad" purpose only I don't see much of an issue. Targeted ads are nice(compared to untargeted one).

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, thank you for making my day.

It is really hard to be "Open Source" and "Non-profit" in the same time without the company delve into political grandstanding and being on a leash of other for-profit(i.e. Mozilla)

As a SWE this is uplifting for many managements use Musk/Twitter as example to squeeze us.

This is selfish, but the worse Twitter burn, the less higher ups think of cheap out on software.

While I share the sentiment for OP but at the same time I am feeling the excitment for what it will bring us next.

I guess after 2-3 years of "Web3"(when it isn't)/Metaverse. The feeling of some tech that really changed the world have finally manifest itself and I am lucky to witness them.

Some of the gatekeeper might be out. Now OpenAI(or whoever controls it down the line) have the complete monopoly.

Not that I am denying the future(Nasper in the 00s proved that). I am wondering what's the next best course as an individual.

I would argue the state of search engine(i.e. google) is worse than ChatGPT. Half of the time top of the search gives me non-answers like "it depends". I have to use `stackoverflow` `reddit` or incognito mode to force google at least give me something tangible, and I don't see google going to change in short term considering for them, me going through all 3 pages of search is engagement and ad revenue.

ChatGPT might not be ideal, but they are way better than current offering.

If anything "web3" is a privacy nightmare.

Before platforms have to incentive you to use SSO and cookies to draw you in. now people are tagging NFTs with their address and act as SSO, reasonably anyone can pinpoint you with a few tech skills if such is the future.

Whatever you think the bad thing in "web2"(I hate this term) will happen and 100x in so called "web3" future.

Depends on your angle.

If you goal is to prevent your average joe, grandma & pafrom getting rugged from script kiddie, then it must be destroyed.

Or you create financial tsunami dwarf today's collapse and probably create WW3.

Because they are the one wielding the social justice bat to other corps.

When you are the one to do the inquisition, you are expected to be held to the higher if not the same standard.

If you are an CS engineer you should be able to call out BS after a few hours reading the "web3" materials.

From what I've seem over past two month it's all about deregulated money, nothing to do w/ decentralization/trustless/demarcation, it's much worse.

Is it a one-in-a-decade career chance? Absolutely, scam unsuspecting plebs, rug dumb coiner/NFTs, be an exchange and be rich, write a mixer/tumbler and laundering blood money. As long as you know when to jump before the heat is too much.

Just...don't lie to yourself. Same stuff, different flavors, world is not going to be a better place because of you, actually, quite the opposite.(Same applies to traditional corps)

If I am a hostile government I'll simply shut your miner nodes down. It's like wearing blackclad outfit while wielding weapons in the broad daylight, it sends all the bad signal.

The real reason is two fold:

1. Developed countries want to keep the developing country poor, by setting the narrative and keep nuclear: the cheapest/most efficient energy out of competitor's hand so they can stay poor.

2. Nuclear bomb ready country want to shut out every possibility for others to get a hands on them. Most nuclear warhead program started by using nuclear powerplant as disguise.

The environment problem is unsolvable because no one with the power want to solve them

I would argue that the term "metaverse" is kept vague so they can rebrand everything with it.

For Zuck, "metaverse" is just VR with their app store.

Giant cons in China are back to action for a long time.

Most of the corps are back to their 996 schedules, this includes low tier, manual heavy sweatshops. you can ask people who have contact in China, they will all tell you the same thing.

Knowing COVID, it's not possible "fake" it at this scale nor this long. They had COVID in control, more or less.

IMO there's no win in the eSport games unless you are the country developing it or host major platform for it(ex: Twitch), they hold too much power.

Competition by nature is a winner takes all game. Age is a strong factor it's event worse than programmer like us which caps around 35-40. For them, it's 25. that means one had to start playing at early teens. Unfortunately most kids are also bad at negotiating terms and compensation nor they hold the bargain chips before they made names, this makes them susceptible from exploitations from all the parties involved. If a player is successful, they make probably same wages as a few high tier engineers. If a player failed, then you have lots of unskilled man with bad health conditions because they spent 12+ hours sitting in fronts of a computer for 10 years. That's disasters waiting to happen.

If I am governor I'll simply make my country very hostile to eSports. If some kid managed to make it, good for the. For the rest of them if they can't even show perseverance than they are bound to fail anyway.

COVID have been under control for a long time in CN, there’s lambda outbreak here and there, but most of them are eliminated fast. Giant exhibition have been hold for more than a year now. And CN is getting kids back to school

Tencent have been reducing their gaming revenue footprints down to single digit %. IMO giant behemoth for the like of BATTMD will manage since they have the money to spare. It will hurt. but in the long run it won't be a big deal.

This is actually worse, underaged minors are only allowed to play from 2000-2100 in Fri, Sat, and Sun(and holidays). Down from cumulative 1.5 hours(3 hour in holidays) per day in 0600-2200. There's no clear effective date for this mandate. But many of the game I see have those policy in place already.

The restriction applies to "online games", but keep in mind in China GaaS games(read: gacha games) are the norm, they are always online to fight piracy. So basically, this applies all the games that actually matters in China.

This will likely to push the China game industry to a new round of battle royal to fight for those little time they have from players, I feel bad for small shops, after 10 years of bloodbath China games had their monetization pattern in place(gacha/monthly passes/daily missions). Now they have to restart over and try again.

eSport scene? yeah, gone, but honestly this is probably good in the long run.

China shops has been winning this era of gaming and crubstomping JP/KR gamedevs with superior gacha models, server stability, update quality/quantity. This mandate will likely to halt their dominance and gave JP/KR a breather.

and I guess Bytedance's game divisions is a goner now...

I fail to see removing one from eSport scene damages the productivity of a country, if not increase it.

eSports are pretty much a negative to the country as a whole. Gaming company use it as ad and sell the illusion to make big bucks. Yes, you could have the next Faker in your country. So what? for every international pro you create there's 100s more kids wasted their youth on a pipe dream where their time could be used to more productive matter. The damage could be justified IF you are the game dev/publisher so your country could benefit from all the royalties, but this is not the case for many of the countries(of course in China this is a mixed case where Tencent holds 100% of Riot).

This is actually a problem in Korea that they have many failed eSport candidate that have no proper skill to live in a very competitive job market. Although Parasite(2019) is a bit exaggerated but not getting in prestigious school/company(Samsung) will likely to put you in a very miserable economy situations.

In my work, when I raised the design/code will expose serious security implications, Architects/seniors looked at me like I am a freak.

Same person always bragged how important is security and how he/she is good at it. The management ate it. It's only when real money are lost and the C-Suit want heads to roll then maybe Mid-Low management will start take my words seriously...for a few months.

There's just no easy way to verify the security of an app. Being security aware and try to make the code secure will cost extra time and make you a diva.

Right now I simply refuse allow those madness infect my code and create clear paper trails, so I can keep my code/job rather sane in the asylum.

WAL mode will stick after subsequent "connections".
